When it was you in a picture
I thought that I had everything
but the pain you would bring
in time brought me the pleasure
of all your sweet little misery

Once for you I thought I would die
then I saw through your sweet little lie
and now for you I feel nothing

Taking a step back so I can breathe
now you're only a stepping stone underneath
of what I use to feel in your sweet little agony

Thinking someday you might change
how it was you were meant to be
I tried to give you what you couldn't see
then you played that fool of me
finding in you what I couldn't rearrange

Rising from this hell you put me beneath
waking up from your sweet little fantasy
I'm breaking free from your chains
that tried to keep a hold of me

I sat down by the edge of the river
where the dreams of us use to flow
with pen in my hand
I wrote all my love to you
everything I wanted to say
I wrote all in this letter
that I could never seem to send

It said I would give my love to you
if I could please only make you stay
I would give my love to you
and dance with you forever
if you could only find a way
I would give my love to you each day
like the one that you never knew
and every morning would always bring something new
if you could believe in a love so true

I could give you the night and
turn your sky blue
but now only a time tells stories
that's written in the sand
as I close my eyes to pretend
that I never let you go

If you knew the pain inside
what I felt and what I hide
you would see a different man
if you knew the tears I cried
how sorrow hid behind my eyes
you would see me in a different view
if you knew the struggles I go through
how each day was only a test of time
you would see why I give hope to shine
if you knew you would see
the path that was chosen for me
to show you a faith to hold
through the stories that I told
if you knew the love I tried
how promises only turned to lies
then you would see a heart that died
if you knew you would see
what Creator wanted me to be
so He layed this journey out for me
that was part of His plan
to give the strength in me
to do what is that I can
to show to you to look and see
at this life a little differently

In my life are reflections
of things to come
of what is to be
and what has beckoned me
to the edge of my dream
a final last scene
that soon will become
what I will no longer find

I feel the emotions
as the heart turns cold
looking through a mirror
at faces I can't see
now that are only illusions
that won't come much clearer
as it draws me closer and nearer
to the reality of my mind
that I can no longer hold

I hear the echoes
the screams of my cries
as the soul in me dies
as the light inside hides
through darkness of my shadows
a sadness of pain and misery
that leaves the happiness behind
of all that I use to know
such a long time ago
where all what I would feel
now don't seem real
